On October 22, 1978, during the inaugural Mass of Pope John Paul II in St. Peter's Square, a historic and deeply emotional exchange took place between the newly elected Polish pontiff and his mentor, Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński, the Primate of Poland. As the College of Cardinals processed forward to pledge obedience and kiss the papal ring, Cardinal Wyszyński who had been a mentor and close ally to Karol Wojtyła for years approached the altar. When Wyszyński moved to kneel, John Paul II immediately stood up, prevented him from kneeling, raised him to his feet, and embraced him. Cardinal Wyszyński insisted on showing traditional reverence, and the Pope held him tightly, kissing his face, head, and hands in a powerful sign of gratitude and respect. On October 23, 1978, the day after the ceremony, Pope John Paul II publicly acknowledged the cardinal's immense sacrifice and leadership under communist persecution, stating: "This Polish pope... would not be on Peter's Chair were it not for your faith, which did not retreat before prison and suffering." Both Churchmen were instrumental to the collapse of communism in Poland.

A non-Catholic who was miraculously healed from cancer through the Rosary ---------------------------- In 2019, Tammy Peterson, the wife of a well-known psychologist and author, Jordan Peterson, was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer (a Bellini renal cell carcinoma) and was given a terminal prognosis with a 0% survival rate and less than a year to live. Despite undergoing major surgery to remove her kidney and surrounding lymph nodes, severe complications developed, including a lymphatic leak that caused her body to fill with fluid. A Catholic friend named Queen Eu introduced her to praying the Rosary. She began praying it daily for two hours over the course of five weeks. On the fifth day of a specific novena for the sick, her lymphatic leak unexpectedly closed. Medical staff performed tests, found her condition vastly improved, and discharged her shortly after. This profound experience deeply shaped her spiritual journey and ultimately led to her conversion and entry into the Catholic Church. @mellycrochets @NgoziOkika

In 1963, as a young priest, Cardinal Simoni was arrested, tortured, and sentenced to death by the Communist authorities for offering Mass for the soul of John F. Kennedy. His sentence was later converted to life imprisonment of hard labor. Communist authorities offered to free him if he renounced his faith. He didn’t and after 28 years of penal labour, he was eventually freed. Pope Francis heard his testimony during his trip to Albania in September 2014, visibly moved to tears by the words of this priest, whom he always called a “living martyr”. In 2016, Pope Francis named him a Cardinal, thanking him for this testimony "that does good for the Church." He chose the motto: “My Immaculate Heart will Triumph.” – at Ibadan, Nigeria
